Last night I had 3 failures in 1.12.3 - but only once I ran the tests as a user. I had that t/python-missing.sh and assumed it was because Python is installed (it's my bootable system, back in chroot). My other two were t/lex-clean-cxx and t/lex-depend-cxx : both undefined reference to `yylex'. I suppose those lex tests are SKIP for you, because LFS has not installed flex when automake is built. Retried 1.12.2 as a user, with a more minimal chown - blew out trying to write ./test-suite.log.tmp : at least one failure, but it had scrolled out of my term's buffer. Seemed to work the next time, with just the two lex-*cxx failures - then I realised I had run it as root. Gave it a separate run overnight, as root - again only the two lex failures. I differ from the book by avoiding static libs as much as possible. I've just finished *another* run of 1.12.2, with libl.a and libfl.a available for use - 83 failures - most are in t/instspc.tap [ 11,12,14,16-62, 65-70, 72-84, 87-94 ] t/instdid.sh, t/instdir2.sh, t/insthook.sh,t/instmany.sh, and _still_ the two lex-*-cxx tests fail. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

All these things used to be hidden within glibc, but at least we're reaching a stage where we can update the timezones (for changes, e.g. to DST) without rebuilding glibc. In both of theoe tests, the result (in seconds) is 1 different from the expected result. At one time, I used to recommend that anyone using the -svn book should follow the -dev list. In this case, I'd appreciate your comments (this list will do) on automake (if you are testing it) - on a completed system, 1.12 and later give me about 4 errors as a regular user (I'd still like to get to grips with those, one day). In a system which boots, but where I've gone back to chroot, and in my results during regular chroot, I get more than 80 failures when running the tests as root. Most of them in t/instspc.tap. I tried running the tests as a regular user (as I say, I've booted the system once), using chown me * in the automake directory (with 1.12.3 - the sed is not appropriate for .3) - it had a few errors, but all the instspc.tap tests look as if they either PASSed of XFAILed. Unfortunately, this was unlogged and scrolled out of my term's buffer - it then died with an EPERM trying to create test-suite.log.tmp so I've now started it again, after chown me ../automake-1.12.3. BTW - thanks for running the tests, and looking at the results! (I often run them, but unless the package version has changed I don't often get round to looking at new failures - basically, I don't have a high regard for testsuites). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
